Profile

The Feed Technology Business Area is a global market leader for supplying machines and systems, pellet mill consumables, and other services to the animal feed industry, the pet food industry, as well as to the fish and shrimp feed industries.  The Business Area also holds a leading position in fast-growing niche markets for wood fuel pelleting, pelleting of industrial by-products, and household waste.

During 2003 the Business Area underwent major restructuring, which led to the consolidation of technology management, procurement and production at two main sites.  Esbjerg, Denmark, became the global center for new equipment (process equipment, technology and replacement parts), and Geldrop, the Netherlands, became the center for consumable parts (replacement dies and rolls for pellet mills, and beaters/hammers for hammermills).

In North America, an important market for this business, a strong sales network was established covering both systems and units as well as spare parts and wear parts (consumables). In addition an efficient service organization supports the customers. In Muncy, PA, dedicated in-house procurement services and manufacturing capacities are available for defined products as well as for replacement parts.

The Business Area has a central management and runs 14 regional sales and service offices.  It is supported by a strong network of distributors and sub-suppliers.
